Assessment

At SUSS, students are generally assessed through a continuous assessment component and an examinable component. A weighted average mark obtained from the combination of these two will be used to determine your final grade for the course. To pass a course, you must pass both components.

Continuous Assessment Component

Depending on the discipline, the continuous assessment component may include written assignments such as dissertations, case study analyses, essays as well as laboratory reports and research projects completed either individually or in groups.

some dissertation or project-based courses, the continuous assessment component could comprise progress reports or project proposals which will form the basis of your final report or dissertation. This final report or dissertation is part of the examinable component for such courses.

Examinable Component

Most courses typically contain one examinable component, which may be a written examination, an end-of-course assignment report, an oral presentation, a dissertation or a combination of such assessment strategies.

Grade Point Average (GPA)

SUSS uses a 5–point GPA system to track a student's progress at programme level over the semesters of active study, where he/she has registered for courses. For continuation of study in the programme, a student must obtain satisfactory progress during his/her candidature.

Academic Standards

The Academic Board of SUSS appoints external examiners from reputable universities to ensure that high academic standards are maintained in all programmes. Appointed external examiners work together with faculty staff to ensure a high standard for the student assessments and provide constructive recommendations to enhance the standard of course presentations.
